Blin.gy app enables you to be in any music video you want
Blin.gy is an app that will put you in the music video of your choice.
Now, all of your daydreams about doing the choreography in your favourite video can come to life, sort of.
The technology used for the Blin.gy app is that of the green screen which was invented back in the 1930’s. The green screen is still used today in modern movie production too. This wasn’t accessible to the public because you would need an actual green screen to make it happen. Now with the Blin.gy app you can make your own green screen-esque video with their “mobile green screen effect”.
Perfect for the selfies generation
You could make a silly video to share with your friends or to post on social media. The creators wanted to build something that allow young people to express themselves in a way that they hadn’t been able to before.
They came up with the concept of putting you the user, inside the actual music video. The algorithm used for Blin.gy combines retro chroma keying with new technologies, like object class detection, edge detection, color manipulation and other computer vision technologies. They managed to prioritize and combine these different techniques depending on the environment in which the video is being recorded.
In comparison it works a lot better than Apple’s Photo Booth effect which would be messed up if you moved. The technology on Blin.gy allows you to use a non-stabilized camera that can move while you’re recording the video.
If you download the app now you will notice that there are tens of thousands of music videos to choose from, so you can literally go crazy for about fifteen seconds each time. The creators are also looking to work with record labels to get customized videos for the app. They are looking to get a video where there is a cut out next to Drake in Hotline Bling and you could fill that space for example.
